What he said, mud tunnels. ome in through a crack in foundation and head for the 2 x 4's. Take a pencil or a nail, or as in my case kick the wall gently and watch the pine 2 x 4's tuurn to dust.

Called a small guy and they just can't offer the 5 year guarantee that Terminex can. They had to come back once after the initial visit and foundation soaking because his drill bit didn't reach a depth that penetrated footing under front steps. When he came back the second time he did thre whole foundation for me again. The troughs that he dug were still there anyways. Besides that the poor kid didn't even have a belt or a decent pair of work boots, and I gave him both. Kid was dirt poor. Haven't had a problem since and they come back every spring.

Its nothing you do. The little bastages come in from outside in the ground. Travel to and fro until they carry the poison back to the nest and whammo. I think there are pine tree burried out front somewhere.
